Feel let down by this armour set, as the Nord Hero weapons are pretty decent? Want more than a re-skin of Iron armour? Want to look old-school Nordic and yet have a decent armour rating?

This mod replaces the base armour values of the set (including the Ancient Helmet of the Unburned) with those of Daedric.

Ysgramor and The Five Hundred could have actually conquered Skyrim wearing this armour now.

Now the strongest armour for women is....backless and mainly leather?

Also on the steam workshop.

Compatibility issues:
Anything else that modifies these items, otherwise it should be fine. It's just a number change in the creation kit, after all.
